Definitions
- the present invention relates to bifunctional compounds which can bind to a ubiquitin ligase and also to a target protein, such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase in order to induce its degradation.
- the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System is responsible for the maintenance of healthy and well- balanced proteome.
- ubiquitin units are covalently attached to the protein, forming a polyubiquitin chain, which marks the protein for degradation via the proteasome.
- Ubiquitination is central to the regulation of nearly all cellular processes and is also tightly regulated itself.
- Ubiquitin ligases facilitate ubiquitination of different proteins in vivo and contribute to precise regulation of the system. Upon recognition, the ubiquitin ligases mediate the attachment of ubiquitin moieties to the target protein, which label it for degradation by the proteasome.
- TPD target protein degradation
- Oncogenic stress such as DNA damage
- DNA damage may result in programmed cell death, the cellular response meant to prevent the oncogenic transformation.
- This mechanism depends on an interplay between pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 proteins, and the balance of these proteins is essential for the proper functioning of the cell.
- BCL-2, BCL-xL and MCL-1 are BH3-domain-containing anti-apoptotic proteins. These proteins bind to effector Bcl-2 proteins Bak and Bax (via their BH3 domains), preventing their pro-apoptotic activity. Inhibition of BH3 domain - BH3 pocket binding interface is a well-known approach to cancer therapy (Leber B, Kale J, Andrews DW. Cancer Discov. 2018 Dec;8(12):1511-1514). High expression of induced myeloid leukaemia cell differentiation protein (MCL-1) is observed in many human cancers and is associated with resistance to cytotoxic drugs.
- MCL-1 induced myeloid leukaemia cell differentiation protein
- MCL-1dependent such as multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukaemia, chronic myeloid leukaemia, B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, hepatocellular carcinoma and non-small cell lung cancers. This concept was confirmed in vitro and in vivo (Tron AE et al. Nat Commun. 2018 Dec 17;9(1):5341).
- MCL-1 is a driver of adaptive survival in tumor cells treated with oncogene targeted therapies, therefore MCL-1 targeting drugs are likely to overcome cancer resistance to these therapeutics.
- MCL-1 has been shown to be essential for cardiac homeostasis in adult murine models, and the absence of MCL-1 led to loss of cardiomyocytes.
- Clinical trials involving MCL-1 inhibitors are currently on clinical hold to evaluate a safety signal for cardiac toxicity (Wei AH et al. Blood Rev. 2020 Nov;44:100672).
